Looks great! One of my favorite carbines that gives you the look at the range. Two questions: did you open the gas hole? And what bolt carrier group did you use? Let us know how it shoots.

Nice! I've never had a desire to build a 605, but you make it tempting.

Jeepdan, the 605 does work in the rain. And a picture I found of the NOS Colt USGI barrel I used that was pre cut to 16". I wish my stock and hand guards were more motted like yours. Your lower is the best!

The transitional bolt catch is a nice touch!

Thanks guys for the positive comments.
To answer a few questions asked above, --Yes, I did open up the barrel gas port. But for the life of me, I can't remember how much  I used info found on this website.
--The Bolt Carrier Group is early Colt. -- The 80% is a NoDak Spud-52. ---Boy it is a tough wait for Harland, and Mike to get them back in stock. -- I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice, and comment on the transitional bolt catch.
Not shown in the pictures are the Edgewater Buffer, and a transitional buffer tube that has the holes + the wrench flats. |

Is the lower anodized or is that norrels? I have been applying Norrels, after prep by lightly abrasive blasting with 120 grit aluminum oxide. I am really satisfied with the results. And it's fun experimenting with color mixing, and heat / temp variations. I have found that the sheen of the finish, and lighting has a dramatic affect on color perception. |

I just used norrells for the first time yesterday. I just made sure I kept it hot and it turned out great. I just assembled my lower and it looks really great. |
